Affiliate Disclosure
TechGearPilot may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through links on the site. This does not increase the price paid by the customer.
Effective September 18, 2026.
Our current link status
At launch, product links direct readers to manufacturer product information without affiliate tracking identifiers. These links do not currently generate an affiliate commission for TechGearPilot. The site is designed to support affiliate partnerships after enrollment; this disclosure explains the model and will be updated as relationships change.
A link to a brand does not imply that the brand sponsors TechGearPilot, has approved an article or has entered a partnership with the site.
How affiliate links work
When an affiliate program is active, a participating merchant or network may identify a referral after you follow a qualifying link. If you complete an eligible purchase within that program's rules, the merchant or network may pay us. Eligibility, attribution periods and exclusions vary by program. We do not add a surcharge to your transaction.
You buy from the merchant, not from TechGearPilot. The merchant controls price, availability, shipping, returns, warranties and payment processing. We do not receive your payment-card details or fulfill orders. Check the retailer's current terms before purchasing.
Disclosure where you need it
Commercial articles carry a disclosure near the beginning of the content. When commission-earning links are activated, their context must make the financial relationship clear rather than rely solely on this separate page. This approach follows the emphasis on clear, nearby disclosure in the FTC's endorsement guidance.
Independent recommendations
Affiliate eligibility does not determine our product conclusions. We aim to recommend products around documented features, compatibility, limitations and the reader's use case. A product can be included without an affiliate program, and a product with a program can be excluded. We do not sell positive review conclusions or conceal relevant weaknesses in exchange for a commission.
Our launch coverage uses research-based evaluation. A commercial link does not change that into a hands-on test. We do not publish fabricated ratings, discounts or personal experiences to encourage a purchase.
Other material relationships
If future coverage involves sponsorship, a loaned product, a free sample or another relationship that could affect how readers assess the article, that relationship must be disclosed with the relevant content. Sponsored material must be clearly identified. No such relationship should be inferred solely from a product appearing on the site.
